CPMG’s recent Midlands projects include the Vijay Patel Building at De Montfort University, Leicester, which won a 2018 RIBA East Midlands Award; the University of Nottingham’s Cripps Health Centre; and the air traffic control tower at Birmingham Airport.
Meanwhile, CPMG announced its frst externally appointed associate, Gemma Pont, who will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the London studio and attempting to grow its work in education, health, residential and commercial sectors.
